What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeSafe pedicle screw placement is a daily challenge to every spine surgeon. Introduction of minimally invasive approaches in spinal surgery led to an impaired facility of inspection of the surgical field increasing the importance of intraoperative imaging and navigation. During the past years, we established a minimally invasive, navigated approach in our clinical setting.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the accuracy of pedicle approaches in patients treated due to traumatic or osteoporotic fractures, spondylitis/discitis, and tumoral lesions. Guide wires for pedicle screws or kyphoplasty cannulas were inserted in a 3D-navigation-guided, minimally invasive technique. Positioning of the guide wires was verified via 3D-scan, and pedicle screws/kyphoplasty cannulas were then visualized via a.p./lateral radiographs. Accuracy data were compared to a standard navigated open approach control group with indications similar to the MIS-group.
results23 MIS patients were included in this study (25-84 years, mean 70 years) with a total of 154 placed guide wires. Handling of the navigated Jamshidi needle was easy and secure. The guide wires showed correct placement in 151/154 cases. Three wires (1.9%) needed correction of placement after control scan. There were no vascular or neurologic complications due to wire misplacement. In the open-surgery control group, 7/181 screws (3.9%) needed intraoperative correction presenting no significant difference compared to the correction rate of the MIS-group (p = 0.35).
conclusionOur study shows the feasibility and reliability of a navigation-guided, minimally invasive pedicle approach in the clinical setting. Therefore, reduced morbidity due to minimized approaches can be combined with higher accuracy of navigated pedicle screw/kyphoplasty cannula placement improving patient safety.
